Testimonials

"John was an absolute pleasure to work with. I have not had too many positive experiences with recruiters in the past, but John made the interview and hiring process as positive and hassle-free as possible. Even though I was not actively looking for a job at the time he contacted me, John provided me with information on a wonderful opportunity he felt I was perfect for, and he did it without pressuring me.

I was impressed with how professional, prompt, informative and communicative John was throughout our time working together. John was also very fair and understanding. He would address all of my concerns honestly and made sure to communicate them to my employer.

After I was successfully hired at a wonderful firm, John still continued to keep in touch and checked up on me on my first day, and even after to make sure I was doing well. I felt that he genuinely cared about my placement and it definitely showed throughout my experience with him. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great recruiter to work with!"

"With my first experience working with recruiters being so negative, I was hesitant in working with another recruiter. However, I cannot recommend John enough. John is an honest professional who is willing to go the extra mile in time efficient and professional communication. He was never pushy, and helped me answer any and all questions I had. I look forward to working with him in the future."

"I was approached through LinkedIn from A Match Recruiting at first. They found a position they wanted me to interview for. I was able to get the interview and they helped me through the whole process. They prepare you for the interview and are always in contact. I did not get the first job but John McLaughlin at A Match reached out two more times until I was able to find the right position for me! I am happier than ever at my job and thankful for A Match Recruiting!"

"I had a very positive experience working with John McLaughlin, Founder and CEO of A Match Recruiting LLC, located in New York City. John located my resume on a job board. He called me and asked me if I was ready for a new experience!

John connected me with a great, stable firm that has excellent benefits, and more importantly, the salary was unbelievable!  He is very professional.  He was my resource throughout the interview and hiring process, and he also prepped me for the various interviewing stages. The firm that he connected me with has a reputation of being "one of the better firms" to work for.  John is truly an awesome recruiter, and he certainly found a great  "match" for me.  I am very pleased that we crossed paths, and I can truly say that the match he found for me has so far worked out to be one of the better firms that I've work for throughout my legal career.  I can't thank him enough.  Kudos to you, John McLaughlin!"
 

"John was great to work with. He was very helpful during the recruitment process, thoughtful about following up on how things were going with the process, and made sure to keep me in the loop on things. I would recommend anyone who is looking for employment opportunities to use John's services. He found me my ideal Patent Attorney position."

“I recently had the pleasure of working with John during my position change in April 2014. After various drawn out application processes with other recruiters I was contacted by John to gauge my interest in a patent attorney/patent agent position in New York.

I was initially skeptical about the job requirements assuming that the position would require a JD (I am a European Patent Attorney and a US patent agent) but decided to give John a call to assess the situation.  After explaining my circumstances, John, having good understanding of the position, convinced me that it would be worthwhile submitting my resume. Within a couple of hours of passing my resume to John he had diligently ensured that it was considered by the appropriate person(s) and I was offered an interview that afternoon which was arranged for the following week.

Throughout the weekend John was on call for any questions pertaining to the nature of the job, the client portfolio and salary requirement. From the moment of first contact John was immediately dedicated to helping me secure the position and his advice was extremely valuable and thorough throughout the process.  I would happily recommend John to others who are open to a job search/resume guidance and he would be the first recruiter I would go to in the future. Thanks John.”

"John reached out to me about a fantastic job opportunity as a trusts and estates paralegal with top law firm. His knowledge of the firm was a great insight and he took the time to evaluate my skills and experience to determine that this paralegal position would be a good match. John is focused and organized. He communicated with me via phone and email throughout my appointments and interview stages and kept me apprised of the next steps and status of the firm's hiring process. John always made himself available to speak with me and truly gave me personal attention. He is remarkable. I find him to be a true professional of integrity, reliability, and honesty. He is also very supportive and encouraging. I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you John!"

"John is by far the best recruiter I have worked with! He placed me in a Patent Paralegal position with a top national law firm in DC!!  He is professional, effective, efficient, and a very good communicator. He is well connected and can answer your questions honestly and quickly. I found the recruitment process ran smoothly and I appreciated John's guidance all along the way."

I've had the please of working with John over the last three months.  John was able to connect me with a law firm that I never thought I would be able to work for.  During this time he was a great communicator and was also able to provide me with valuable advice throughout the entire process.  I would recommend John to anyone seeking a new position or any firm looking to fill one.  Hopefully I will be able to attribute my successful career as a patent attorney to the opportunity that John provided me with.  John was able to help me obtain my dream job at the age of 23!

We communicated in LinkedIn then by email one evening then a telephone interview at 7:30 the next morning.

Yesterday was my six month anniversary at the new position. I highly recommend John McLaughlin as a legal recruiter!"
